what do you charge?

Answer 1

$5 an hour for 1

and $2 extra for each additional child

Answer 2

this is what i think a good rate is...

one child: $7/8

two children: $8/9

three children: $9/10

then, add a dollar for each child extra

Answer 3

I used to charge by the hour.  I charged $3/hour for 5 and up, and $5/ hour for 5 and under per child.  I thought it was pretty reasonable, no one every complained to me before.

Answer 4

I pay $100 per week.

Answer 5

Well when I was your age I did babysitting, which really wasnt all that long ago... lol, I would charge somewhere between 5-7 dollars a child an hour? depends, sometimes people just pay you for the day some times people pay by the hour =)

Answer 6

$6-8 an hour is very fair for your age... Ask them what they are willing to pay
